Remember -- just when you think Trump has gone as low as imaginable, he then goes even lower

There really is no limit.

 

 

'Blood on his hands!' Trump claims Putin's bombing blitz is 'what anybody else would do' to Ukraine

 

 

Trump, could well be another dementia sufferer.

Until yesterday, outstandingly Pro Poo-tin.

Today, started to condemn the master he serves.

And suggesting "tough" sanction.

While it has been already in place since 2022.

And it effectively crippled Russian military production; their access to essential free-world made electronics blocked.

So they cannot build any new fighter planes, tanks, APCs, and naval ships.

They also suffer dire shortage of funds needed for them.

 

Then, they had to "import" munitions from Iran and N/Korea.

Congratulations and welcome to 'TBL Ignore' club. I'd like to claim that it is exclusive but membership must be in the hundreds by now.

You didn't say how many more dead people you want in pursuit of your opinion that Putin is a bad man and needs to be spanked.

 

Regardless, Putin will walk away with all the land he holds at end of conflict- that's usually how it works for the winner. Ukraine will be crippled for years having to repay the debt to the EU and probably the US, though the US may be happy with the minerals instead. Get used to your craw being stuck- there is more to come, oh yes, much more.

 

Couldn't resist a bit of gloating. Underneath your 'Peacenik' posturing, there is nothing but admiration for Putin and his methods.

At least it is one question he will be able to answer correctly and one that you can trust.  I wonder if he has a wall calendar  with a daily/weekly total?

 

PS; Are they actually "likes" as in "I liked that post" or are they not just emoji clicks which means it includes all the sad and confused clicks as well?

He probably counts those numbers as badges of honour as well as his so called likes.

Thank you.

 

The problem with ignoring a poster as TBL will find out (if he cares), is that you only ignore that poster, but any posts that you make on a forum are still available are still open for anybody to see.

 

I am not sure if TBL is in a race to become the first poster to reach 100,000 posts.

I think that they are simply emoji clicks.

Damn. I was half way through replying to your post, when I looked for something and completely lost the reply. I will try again tomorrow. Sorry.

The Ukrainian war has been a major success,  in the sense that it is the last war Russia 🇷🇺 will ever fight with its large Soviet era military 🪖 equipment stockpile. 

Russia 🇷🇺 has effectively been disarmed and it will take them decades to rebuild an army to defend their 20,000 km of land borders.

Why would they need to "defend" the Russian border? No western country is going to invade, given the nukes, and China is not an enemy.

 

Once the war is over, Russia will re arm with modern equipment.

German and the Soviet Union were also friends during WWII, until they were not.

Russia 🇷🇺 need to defend it border ever day of the week, day and night.

The Chinese smuggle across the border, even walk in and set up farming in remote areas.

Also Russia has borders with some wild Muslim countries that are know for everything by love and peace.

What is the North Korean Kursk killing go sour and Kim is in a bad mood?

The safest borders are Russia's NATO borders.

Strange twisted logic trying to say that the man trying to stop a war is a threat to world peace. A threat to war mongers- yes.

Hope for you yet?

 

Good to see you offering a tacit admission that Russia is more of a threat to its' neighbours than vice versa. 

 

Is it too much to hope that you might eventually admit that Russia was the instigator of this war and that you condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine?

You don't mean peace. You mean Ukraine should surrender. Why doesn't Russia just leave then instead? 

If you had taken the trouble to read recent history, at least since the time of Reagan & James Baker on the American side and Gorbachev on the Russian (Soviet) side- about the conditions that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989- you wouldn’t have asked me this question. But it's not too late, all of this is still available to read online

He started the withdrawal from Afghanistan. That's one war he ended. Pity Biden stuffed it up.
